Chris Brown rocks Kirby necklace, Daily Mail rocks ignorance

August 8, 2010 News No Comments

Musician/woman hitter Chris Brown was recently spotted wearing a giant piece of Kirby bling. Even from the perspective of someone who regularly wears a Mario hat, his fashion sense seems a little questionable.

The media hasn’t really known what to do with this important surfacing of a Nintendo mascot in mainstream culture. The Daily Mail‘s story on the topic has been edited multiple times, exposing shocking ignorance. They at first described the great inhaler as a “pink cat,” then changed that to a Pokémon, before finally settling on Kirby. Although they still seem to think Kirby is a cat. At least Perez got his name right.

Brown joins the elite club of Nintendo-loving celebrities, which also includes the likes of Eminem, Kevin Federline, and Robin Williams.
